2019 Expedition Max Lift and Tires

[Tman]

New here

Ordered my wife an 2019 Max XLT, Platinum White, 4x4, Heavy Trailer Tow expect it to be here mid October but already thinking about lift and tires. I have read all of the threads I can on the Bilstein 5100 but have not see anyone use the true Expy stuts front and rear. I am only looking to put 285/60R20 in BFG KO2, which are 1.5" taller and <.5" wider than factory. Also planning to add ranch hand grill guard and led lights.

Does anyone have any comments/opinions on my planned tire and lift combo? I got the Heavy Tow because I knew I would add larger tires and be pulling boat or ranger often.

wow, they are 61lbs....my 275/60/20 Michelins are 43lbs....plus the truck weight rating will make it a bumpier ride....all for the looks? lol

my 275 are 33" and with a +30 offset leave some air...was thinking myself to get a 285 33.5" next time ;-)

no lift here

There’s a guy on here running 285/60/20 on +25 offset wheels no lift. It’s a 2016 but there’s basically zero difference in clearance you would have in your 19

I will update once it is in and I start working on it.

I noticed they were heavy but was hoping the tow gears would make up it. Yes mostly for looks, but primarily because momma wants it.
She just blessed us with our third child so she deserves it. She is coming from a shortbed Superduty on 35's so this should still be hands down a better ride.

16Plati thanks for the photos and info. I think my plan will work fine and not be stretching it.

Anything else I should plan to add?

Thanks
